Civic Roundtable

Platform enabling public servant collaboration

Overview

Civic Roundtable builds a subscription-based online platform for public servants to connect across local, state, and federal levels. It helps break down silos by providing a member directory, access to experts, and practical resources, enabling government teams to learn from similar projects and apply best practices in real time. Its differentiation comes from a focused, real-world network for public-sector collaboration and tangible, immediately applicable insights, rather than generic knowledge platforms. The company aims to improve government operations and inter-agency coordination by making it easier to find experts, share findings, and access actionable guidance within a trusted civic ecosystem.

Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • Fast Company named Civic Roundtable a 2026 Next Big Thing in Tech.
  • Revenue more than doubled over two years, per Fast Company on October 6, 2026.
  • The October 2026 Vertosoft partnership should accelerate channel-led government deployments quickly.

What critics are saying

  • Federal and state procurement cycles can stall sales for quarters, especially after budget resets.
  • General Catalyst-backed seed capital from February 2024 still forces growth before 2027 dilution.
  • If agencies consolidate onto Microsoft, Salesforce, or intranets, Civic Roundtable becomes redundant.

What makes Civic Roundtable unique

  • Civic Roundtable spans 5,000 organizations across all 50 states as of 2026.
  • Its AI Answers product searches vetted internal records, not the open internet, since 2025.
  • Vertosoft distribution, announced October 1, 2026, extends procurement access through contract vehicles.

Civic Roundtable announces its first VP of Sales

Civic Roundtable announces its first VP of Sales. Civic Roundtable, Inc. is excited to share that Kraig Gardner has joined Civic Roundtable as its first VP of Sales. "Kraig deeply understands what it takes to support public servants with technology that actually improves day-to-day work," said Madeleine Smith, Cofounder of Civic Roundtable. "He's built teams around real customer needs, and he shares its belief that Roundtable fills a critical gap in government operations today: how to power the coordination necessary to advance interagency initiatives. Kraig brings a strong track record of building and leading high-performing sales teams at high-growth SaaS companies. Most recently, he led regional sales at a government technology firm where he scaled solutions adopted by government teams across the country. He has also held multiple sales leadership roles across the technology sector. "I'm thrilled to join Roundtable at a moment when the product is clearly resonating," said Kraig. "From nationwide federal initiatives to state and regional coordination, Roundtable gives agencies a digital front door to bridge silos across organizations and make a bigger impact for their communities. I'm excited to help grow that impact." As agencies are asked to do more with less, the need for modern government operations infrastructure has never been clearer. Roundtable is building the operating system for modern government work. In this role, Kraig will help expand its partnerships with agencies nationwide - ensuring more teams have a secure, purpose-built platform to advance the mission and deliver better outcomes. Welcome to Roundtable, Kraig - Civic Roundtable, Inc. is glad you're here.
